FormscanBy Mark Nunan - PERSIAN QUEEN stayed on well to win a 10 furlong maiden at Naas on heavy ground at the back-end and this will, in effect, be her handicap debut after being left with nowhere to go when a horse slipped up in front of her at Cork. She could be on a reasonable mark and this trip should be within her compass. All Class landed a big touch at Navan before following up at Gowran and is very much respected, but she’s in better company here for her hat-trick bid. A mile was too short for Dundory on his reappearance and there’s likely to be more to come from him this season, while in the same ownership Vultan, who had placed form in maidens last season, is another to consider. Ilmig beat smart hurdler Jesse Evans in a 1m6f maiden last year but has a welter burden to carry.%0A
